Wow. I hadn't considered "amphitheaters" in the music coin set? I know many musical performances are given these days. Seems I even briefly saw YANY (ugh!!!) on TV performing in an amphitheater before I shut the TV off. GASP!
I am on the hunt for the Polish 100 year theater coin of 2013 (2 zloty and 10 zloty I believe???) but I didn't think they have been officially issued yet. Guess I'm wrong.
Well anyway, here is my small subset "Music Theaters, Orchestras and Choirs" set. Coin #14, a Hungarian coin, features famous conductors, (it might bet moved to the "conductors" subset...not sure...it was issues to honor an orchestra). I have moved Opera Houses to a separate sub category and when I can, I will include coins with opera scenes in that set and then post here. The problem is that there are several coins that can be listed in more than 1 subset...so I did my best based on SCWC descriptions for purpose of minting of each coin. The descriptions of the set is below the scans.
